Religious Fundamentalism in Orwell and Pynchon

[s~Z]

>>>What we've been discussing is whether Pynchon meant to allude to 9/11 and
Bush's government (and if so, what he's actually saying about them), or
whether he didn't, and that what he has written simply evokes 9/11 and Bush
for some readers, though not for others.<<<

And the arguments for allusion become increasingly vague when the question
is posed, "What point is being made with the allusions, and what is the
support for these points in the essay?" Nothing but no-replies to this
specific question. A lot of 'evidence' for allusions. Zilch evidence for the
point of them. None. From anyone.
